LOW CARB BAKED SPAGHETTI SQUASH WITH GARLIC SAGE CREAM



Low Carb Baked Spaghetti Squash With Garlic Sage Cream image

A few simple ingredients transform this mild tasting vegetable into a memorable side dish. My whole family loves this, even kids and at only 2 grams of carbs per serving it is a great dish to beat back the pasta craving! It tastes alot like spaghetti alfredo. I usually serve this with grilled chicken. My girlfriend passed this recipe on to me, I have no idea where it came from. If you are watching carbs it has a net carb count of only 2 grams per serving. For those doing Atkins, use the heavy cream, for those on SBD use milk and add a wee bit of thickener if needed. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

Tips:

  • Choose the right spaghetti squash. Look for a squash that is firm and has a deep yellow color. Avoid squash that is bruised or has soft spots.
  • Roast the spaghetti squash properly. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and roast the squash for 45-50 minutes, or until it is tender. You can also microwave the squash for 12-15 minutes, or until it is tender.
  • Let the spaghetti squash cool slightly before handling it. The squash will be very hot when it comes out of the oven or microwave, so let it cool for a few minutes before you try to handle it.
  • Use a fork to scrape the spaghetti squash strands out of the shell. This is the easiest way to get the squash strands out of the shell without making a mess.
  • Season the spaghetti squash with your favorite sauce. You can use a simple sauce made with olive oil, garlic, and Parmesan cheese, or you can use a more complex sauce, such as a tomato sauce or a pesto sauce.

Conclusion:

Creamy baked spaghetti squash parmesan is a delicious and healthy low-carb meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be customized to your liking.
